Monarch Of Time-Novel

After a moment of silence, Sun Wen turned around and looked at Liu Mei and the others, his sharp gaze lingering on Jiang Tianfang for a few more moments, before he finally waved his hand and carried Mao Jing with him as he disappeared from the 'Southern Dragon's courtyard'.

Jiang Tianfang merely stared at Sun Wen's disappearing figure for a few moments, before he turned around and looked at Xingyi, as he asked her

''Are you alright?''

Xingyi nodded her head and cupped her hands towards Jiang Tianfang, as she said gratefully

''Uncle Jiang, thank you for saving me!''

Although Xingyi was still a bit stunned, she still managed to recollect herself and thank Jiang Tianfang properly.

Jiang Tianfang merely shook his head and waved his hand calmly, as he then turned his gaze towards the gates of the courtyard and said

''There is no need to be so polite. You are actually lucky that that old hag's attack was too slow. If it had been a bit faster, even I wouldn't have been able to save you in time.''

Xingyi nodded her head without saying anything else, as she too turned her gaze towards the gates of the courtyard soon after.

The truth was, that Xingyi had already been prepared to cut off ties with Mao Jing even before they left the Holy sect.

After all, from the first time that Mao Jing met Shun Long, it was clear that she wasn't fond of him and that could create quite a few problems in the future.

It was also obvious that Mao Jing would force Xingyi to separate from Shun Long and the others at some point, which was why Xingyi had long since asked Shun Long for a rank 5 'Barrier-piercing pill'.

After she gave the pill back to Mao Jing, the 2 of them would no longer be master and disciple.

Clearly, Xingyi hadn't expected that Mao Jing's reaction would have been so extreme, that she would even try to cripple her.

If it wasn't for Jiang Tianfang's interference, it was obvious that even the Grand Elder wouldn't have been able to react in time and save her

A moment later, Liu Mei, Bai Longtian, and Jiang Chen, all appeared in front of Xingyi, as Jiang Chen said coldly

''It's unfortunate that my father didn't kill that old hag and only severed her hand.''

Shaking his head, Jiang Tianfang sat down cross-legged and threw a glance at Jiang Chen, before he said calmly

''You little brat, although it's true that I can kill that old hag if she was by herself, there is no way that Kang Wen would let me do so right in front of him. No matter what, he wouldn't allow an Elder of his sect to die like that, unless his opponent was an actual Sovereign realm expert.

Don't forget that Kang Wen is still one of the strongest Dao Emperors in the northern part of the central region!''

Jiang Tianfang then turned his gaze towards the building behind him and continued

''Since that brat Shun Long is still in seclusion, it's better for you to put this matter aside for now and continue cultivating until he is out. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet

If you have reached a bottleneck, you can also go and train in the Dao tower in the 'Northern Sovereign's city' as well.

As for the 'City of Immortals'... I have to admit that even I didn't know that the earthquake from before signified that the city is now open, but it doesn't matter too much either.

That place should stay open for at least 10 years if things are the same as they were in the past, so there will still be enough time for you to make it in time.''

Liu Mei and the others all nodded their heads in agreement, while determined looks appeared in everyone's eyes.

Indeed, since Shun Long was still in seclusion, the best thing they could do was to cultivate and raise their strength as much as possible before they entered the 'City of Immortals'.

At the very least, it would be best if all of them were middle-stage Dao Kings before Shun Long exited his seclusion.

..

At the same time, inside a large courtyard in a luxurious inn within the 'Northern Sovereign's city', Sun Wen and Mao Jing both stared at the Grand Elder in front of them, before Sun Wen said seriously

''Grand Elder, I know that value Shun Long quite highly, but that Jiang Tianfang still severed Mao Jing's hand.

Even if Mao Jing was in the wrong with Xingyi's matter, Jiang Tianfang still went overboard!

Additionally, Mao Jing isn't a body refiner, so it will take quite a few expensive pills for her hand to grow back. Are we really going to leave this matter like this?''

However, the Grand Elder merely snorted as he looked at Sun Wen, his piercing gaze causing him to shiver, before he said coldly

''Leave the matter like this? Mao Jing is lucky that Jiang Tianfang interfered this time, otherwise, if her attack had really succeeded and she ended up crippling that girl, forget about Jiang Tianfang, I would be the first one to move and take her life!''

Sun Wen's and Mao Jing's eyes both widened in disbelief, but the Grand Elder's piercing gaze was still focused on Mao Jing as he continued

''You know that I value Shun Long highly and I told you that you are not allowed to offend him, but you still decided to cripple that girl! Do you take me to be invisible or is it that my words don't have enough value for you?

Fine! I don't mind telling you that I owe that kid, Shun Long a favor, so if you really ended up crippling that girl, if he asked me to take revenge for her, I would truly kill you even if you are an inner court Elder of the sect!

At the same time, you seemed to have forgotten that we were still within the Northern Sovereign's estate. Even if the Northern Sovereign didn't care about others and only cared about herself, do you think that she wouldn't care about her own face that much, that she would let outsiders enter her estate and wantonly cripple her guests?''

A shiver ran through Mao Jing's spine as she seemed to have forgotten this matter.

Although she could claim that she had crippled Xingyi with the excuse that she was her master, would the Northern Sovereign really care about Mao Jing's reasons before she killed her??

Shaking his head, the Grand Elder then continued

''Go and gather the disciples and the Elders and prepare to leave the city. As for Mao Jing's matter, you can forget about taking revenge.''

...

At the same time, inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Shun Long was still sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, while his body was completely drenched in sweat.

Inside his spiritual sea, the purple-colored earth flame was madly absorbing his spiritual strength like a hungry beast that was ravaging everything in its sights.
